Given Millwards comments that the club can't bring anyone in because there is no one available he is stuck with the current playing staff. He needs to do something radical with the staff he has got.
Since there is no leadership on the pitch he should put O'Loughlin out of his misery and take the captaincy off him before it ruins the player and possibly the club.
He may have captained every U21 team going but this is very diffeerent and he isn't up to it.
Apart from playing everyone out of position this is one of the few changes he can actually make to the current squad.
There are few candiates. Well two basically. Fletcher and Orr. Of those two only one looks to have any passion about him at the moment and that is everyones favourite half back, Danny Orr.
If Millward persists with what appears to be a head-in-the-sand apporach ignoring the obvious lack of on-field leadership it will be one of the factors that will get him the sack in my opinion.

I agree with most of what you are saying there is a definite lack of leadership on the pitch. In the Castleford game when Cas scored the players group around in a circle like they always do but Sean O'Loughlin our captain was stood on his own. O'Loughlin is a talented player but he is not ready to be the captain of Wigan. It was Danny Orr how was talking to the players at Cas trying to get them to improve their games and it was Bryan Fletcher doing the same at Warrington.
Andy Farrell was a great captain because he wasn't afraid to get stuck into his players and tell them what he though. The difference is that Farrell had earn his respect at Wigan and when Farrell spoke people listened.
Sean O'Loughlin can't command the respect that Farrell did and if you don't have the respect of the rest of the team then they won't listen to you.
If Millward doesn't sort out the problem then at worse the team could start to fall apart inside because O'Loughlin isn't doing a good job and player might start to turn to others in the club for leadership.
